Our Faculty & Staff
Center Directors: Dr. Ann McCleary and Dr. Keith Hebert
Volunteer Archives Manager/Archivist: Ms. Catherine Hendricks
One of the primary goals of the Center is to provide an opportunity for faculty-student research projects. Each semester, graduate students, working as Graduate Research Assistants, coordinate research projects, with help from undergraduate research assistants and interns. Students receive hands-on experience by directing projects and conducting primary research.
The Center invites any students--graduate or undergraduate--to consider an internship at the Center. Please contact either Dr. McCleary or Dr Hebert for current internship opportunities.
